What do we mean by ‘RNP AR’?

Basic RNP

RNP.1

RNAV-1

PRNAV RNP2

RNP 10

•ICAO preferred, Airbus adopted, characterised by

•RNP values <=0.3 NM

•Lateral protection = 2xRNP without buffer

•Curved flight path or RF legs

Think about course design

Where do I start?

Where do we need to end?

What do we need to put in the course?

Think and re-think, what does an experienced Airbus pilot need to know to fly RNP AR

Safely?

The Airworthiness Compliance Document

Airworthiness Compliance Document (ACD) was developed in response to Regulators request

Link between the airworthiness approval and the operational approval

Approved by EASA and referenced in the Flight Manual

Details all assumptions, limitations and relevant information to be considered during an RNP AR operational approval process

Including a full description of Airbus recommended procedures in normal and non-normal situations and the training requirements
